I love those bright lights and country musicI won't stay home and cry tonight like all the nights beforeI've just learned that I don't really need you anymoreI found a little place downtown where guys like me can goAnd they've got bright lights and country musicBright lights and country music a bottle and a glassSoon I'll be forgetting that there ever was a pastAnd when everybody asks me what helped me forget so fastI'll say bright lights and country music[ fiddle - steel ]A table by the bandstand a bottle filled with wineHonky tonks were made for men with women on their mindsNothing else can take away this loneliness of mineQuite like bright lights and country musicBright lights and country music...I love those bright lights and country music
